I like to tell myself a little white lie: we’re returning to the old ways in photography because we’re realizing that they’re best. The truth, of course, is a deeper conversation around a lack of originality and self-rediscovery.
And so the work of photographer Frank Ockenfels is enough to make any portrait photographer searching for ideas and inspiration want to dive into the darkroom. Photographers these days yearn for more than just the cold digital experience. There are sensory needs greatly missing from digital photography that make us an eye floating in space with no other senses to give us information about the world. At Fotografiska, NY, photographers will experience the crazy conversation that photography has with itself. . thephoblographer.com
